Importance of a domain name to a paysite?

so, we're chatting about domain names and how to use them effectively for paysites and we're wondering...........

do you go with anal.bustermonkey.com, lesbian.bustermonkey.com etc. running everything through one domain,

pick out entirely different but in this day and age, overly long domains like blondlesbianlaplickers.com, giantanalstretchingmonsters.com etc. or

go with something like mypornlesbians.com, mypornanal.com etc.

whats the best way to go with multiple niches and domains?

netpondcash for example use

anal.uncovered.com
boobs.uncovered.com
orwahtever site they are doing

if you have a GOOD base .com then a whatever.gooddomain.com would be cool to build your "brand"

I think what he is talking about
say for example
your domain

www.allchubby.com
say in the next year you brand that mother fucker real well

instead of buying newhotbbwmodel.com
you could do newhotbbwmodel.allchubby.com and the bbw peeps would know the allchubby brand

but what about the draw backs of having everything in one domain?
say you have a domain issue, blackhole type issue, etc. it effects your whole business instead of just one niche, no?

I would never run things through 1 domain these days, You get blacklisted on google or any of the major search engines you're fucked a lot more than if things are spread out.

you just gotta be creative. you can still come up with short, brandable domain names for any niche.

Getting good typeins for affiliate use doesn't seem worth it to me, but if you're gonna make a brand behind it, it can lead to some great (free) type-in traffic.

Yes..If they're paysites or freesites/tgp's with different niches, different domains are a must...However, each one should still be branded.

Branding means a LOT for a paysite. It's how I've survived as a one man amateur operation in an ever more competitive marketplace...Without branding and other long term techniques that I have employed, I would have been swallowed up long ago.

the way TCG does it is good, different domains, some of them long, but each gets SE searches and can have a 'following'.

I don't think there is any argument about the effectiveness of branding, however, you don't need subdomains to accomplish that.

We do it with names like GotWebHost, GotAdTracker, etc. Our upcoming project will have about 240 sites all having a common phrase in the domain name that will easily identify it as belonging to the same network for the surfers.

ok, if you go the different domain for each site route, do you use whatever domain is available or do you try to group them?

analbangbang.com, blondlesbianlaplickers.com VS meluvanal.com meluvlesbians.com

Then he clearly hasn't seen the value of branding, or thought you were being literal with your choice of examples (meluvanal.com meluvlesbians.com)

I like the use of one great domain like Netpond does with Uncovered.com and ARS does with Smut.com, and obvious mainstream sites like Google.com and AOL.com do with good subdomain titles.

subdomains are usually used from sponsors due to billing restrictions and not as an option.

The domain means very little when it comes to paysites.

As Sleazy mentioned above, RawLike Sushi isnt a niche, on the gay side of things, BadPuppy, Randy Blue arent niches, its the branding that works for the sites and the content, not the domain name.

That being said however, there is a lot to be said for a nice 'memorable' domain name to use specific to a niche and, despite first thoughts, there are a lot of reasonably short 2 word, un-hyphenated domains available that are also pretty good from a branding standpoint.

It totally depends on what you want to do, would you like your affiliates (if you have any) to do all the branding work for you or, are you going to brand the site/s yourself?

One method is a lot easier and more cost-effective to use than the other.

I personally like using the 1 domain per site approach, not only because it allows me to brand individual sites but, because it gives me a wider scope of options when it comes to 'in-house' sales and traffic.

Regards,

Lee

Might sound stupid, but from a surfer point of view...its less tempting to join lesbian.someporncompany.com than lesbiansiteblah.com ... The surfer will think that it's not a site on it's own, but just a segment of a bigger site, and therefor that he will get less...

just my though, but im sure it would influence how the surfer view the site...


as for meluvlesbian.com, meluvasian.com etc.. VS. a random domain for everysite...I guess it's just a matter of wheter you want to put more effort into branding the company name, or the just that single site itself... they both have advantages...for ex: Im pretty sure a lot of surfers would trust Bangbrosworldwide.com since they know that bangbus.com is quality etc...(just using it as an example)...

Or you could do like bangbros have done and have different sites on different domains but when you watermark all the content, have it branding a hub website e.g. bangbros.com so all the typin traffic goes to the hub while also creating a strong brand

This way it can work out cost effective with your expenses for domains, for all your paysites you won't need to spent a lot on short domains because you invest in 1 good easy to remember domain which you will brand on all your content.

Like I said bangbros are a great example, just check out their sites and what they have done
